Mixed media and sketch fun!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share some mixed media folders that I put together with The Paper Bakery April mixed media kit and my take on the latest sketch challenge that we have going on. For the first folder, I painted the background with the yummy paints, included in the kit, and then added some of the pp from a Studio Calico pad, also in the kit. I made the gal from one of the book pages from the March mm kit.
 
 
For the second folder, I coated the folder with gesso, which is in the kit, and then I sewed together a bunch of the papers, added some of that fun tissue paper, also in the kit, and voila, I now have an art folder to put bits and pieces in. That's one of the great things about these kits.....they can actually be useful for your everyday things! Yeah!
 
 
If you would like to take a peak at the April mm kit "Farmer's Market", or any of the other fabulous kits, you can here.  And as a special sweet addition, all subscribers get free cut/prt'd files, which are alternated each month. Yes, that's right! So if you want to make sure you get one of these kits to your front door, you should subscribe....these kits go fast!

 
And now here is the fabulous sketch, for our sketch challenge:
 

 
 
 
Love this sketch! For me, I decided to turn it. I put the lo together using April's scrapping kit "Lemonade Stand". Such a fun, colorful kit!
 
 

 
I invite you to play along with us this month......you could be the winner of the wonderful yummy prize! I can't wait to see what you create! Yeah! Simply link up your lo to the side bar with the linky tool on The Paper Bakery blog!
 
As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
Hugs!
